If you were president what would you do to get the spread of the virus under control?

The current strategy isn't working. The numbers are going to keep increasing. The bodies are going to pile up. We don't have a clue when it is going to end, or even reach a peak.

How do we know that thousands a day won't be dying in three month, or six months or even a year? Are we going to keep much of the economy shut down? How many lives will be lost or ruined? We haven't a clue. All we know is the figures are only going in the wrong direction and we have lost the window that China and South Korea used to bring it under control.

Imagine you were president. What would you do to save lives, save the economy and maybe save America? I have my own ideas, but I am interested in what you would do.

The DUmp is so damn ignorant. Of course they believe all the Democrat talking points and lies.

Schiff, Nadler, and everyone who served in Impeach#1 should huddle-up and develop a new impeachment resolution. Based solely on Trump's dereliction of duty and methodically ignoring professional advice by dismantling CDC Pandemic teams , then calling the pandemic a Democratic hoax which has further delayed this country's ability to fight this health crisis.

Drop it on the Judiciary Committee Monday for vote. Let the Republicans carry Trump's water on bail for the good of the country. Their call.

I like this idea. It's the best one to show that Democrats care about the people.

Then I would work with manufacturers to get the PPE and ventilators made and sent directly to hospitals necessary to save lives. I would shut down all un-necessary travel and businesses. I would listen to the doctors and scientists.

SO much more could have been done as soon as the high numbers started coming out of China.

The WHO did not and does not have tests to 'send' anywhere. They have formulas listed that others have used. And even if they did they wouldn't be giving them to the US. They would be giving them to the third world countries they work with.

There were lots of suggestions that were exactly what President Trump and his team have done and there were lots of smart ass comments like this:

OBAMA'S H1N1 VIRUS: From April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010, CDC estimated there were 60.8 million cases (range: 43.3-89.3 million), 274,304 hospitalizations (range: 195,086-402,719), and 12,469 deaths (range: 8868-18,306) in the United States due to the (H1N1)pdm09 virus.

"Even if Trump didn't pay Russian hookers to pee on one another to defile a bed the Obamas once slept on it sounds like something he would do and that's all that matters." DemocratSinceBirth, Wed Jan 11, 2017, 09:32 AM

1.) WHO never offered test kits to the US.

2.)Trump has been doing that for weeks.

3.) Trump shut down travel to/from China on 2/2. Trump shut down travel to/from EuroLand on March 11, and extended it to include the UK on March 14. Dems denounced those moves, variously, as racist, xenophobic, and excessive.
